Millie I had NO idea you could edit videos in studio AFTER it’s been published! That is so helpful! I love your content so much, I watch a lot of people who create this kind of content and yours is always SO helpful and amazing value for the time - really appreciate the info and you are so inspiring!

[GLOBALSTRIDE]

Great Hacks! I am learning so much from you. You are an incredible teacher! Your ability to break down complex topics into easy-to-understand steps is truly impressive. Your passion for teaching and engaging delivery makes learning so enjoyable. Thank you for creating valuable contents and making a difference for so many of us!

[veganlunchmom]

Wow I didn’t know you could change past video thumbnails!

[Vanderwoman]

Linking a video to a playlist is such a great idea. Thanks ❤

[AlyssaAllDayVlogs]

I did not know about the AB thumbnail thing!!!! Millie, this was SUCH a helpful video.

[PositionedWell]

Blurring after the video is made public is a game changer. I have a video in mind that needs this hack. Thank you!

Modern Millie - I've been following "Think Media" and you for a while. I appreciated this info so much that I had to stop watching my TV and get on my computer to make this comment. I am so THANKFUL for your info and in such a concise and workable format. As a person learning how to become a creator and establishing my channel - your hacks gold. Thanks - jaw

Great content Millie! I was able to monetize my channel in about 5 months and I watched a lot of your videos along the way! thank you!

[TiyaYoga]

Thanks for these useful tips Millie ☺️

[JimSmithBrazil]

The thumb nail hack is my favorite. Once I get through this monetization process I have some videos I am going to test this on. However the monetization approval process has been a nightmare experience even though hours and subscriber count has been met.

[jaydeethomasMUA]

I loved this info you gave. What I would love to see is a video that shows the FULL steps to creating your videos. You mention a lot about scripting, and Im always curious with how people work off the scripts. Are they reading it on a paper, or like memorizing key points. But all in all im obsessed with your content.

Just wish that thumbnail testing was available for kids channels😏🌸🦋🌸Magda

[Marilynstreats]

"Wow-wow-wee-wow!" - you're so cute! ❤

[CeceFamily]

Thank you I didn’t know I could change shorts’ thumbnails until now 😂😅❤

[leahrotter]

Thanks Millie!
(*does YT think I'm cool now?)

[dragonflyproducts]

Great video as always 🎉growing and earning. Bit of a head f**k but keeping going

[KathehFIT]

I use to a/b with tb but now I do it with YT a/b/c testing :p

[jeriheggie]

Blurring after uploading is good to know!

Love 🥰 a YouTube hack video especially if it increases my views & subscribers. Thanks 👍 for sharing these awesome hacks in this amazing video Millie. Love ❤ Millie.

I wish you could narrate my videos. You make these boring topics so understandable and easily digestible. Other creators will ramble for 40 minutes to say the same thing in every video.
